I Feel Afraid

Genesis 7:16

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

God Himself closed the door. When He shuts you in to something, He is also shutting out the storm.

Genesis 12:1

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

Faith starts with one step out the door. You don't need the whole map — just the voice of the One calling.

Genesis 20:6

And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.

Even when we fail, God protects what He has promised. His plans don't rise or fall on our perfect performance.

Genesis 31:3

And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

When God says go, go. He will make the road behind you as safe as the road ahead.

Genesis 32:26

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Some blessings only come after the limp. God would rather you wrestle with Him than walk away from Him.

Genesis 33:4

And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

The reunion you dread may become the one you cherish. Sometimes the enemy in your imagination was already ready to forgive.

Genesis 43:30

And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.

Sometimes love looks like letting go. Trust God with the ones you're most afraid to lose.

Genesis 46:4

I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.

Even at the end of your life, God still has new chapters. Don't be afraid to go where He is leading.
